On All Souls Day, a day when Catholics and those of other Christian denominations pray for the dead, religious and civic leaders from around Baltimore gathered at the Weinberg Park Heights Jewish Community Center in Baltimore Nov. 2 to remember the 11 people slain at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh nearly one week earlier.

It’s good to remember the many, many good priests who inspired such generosity.

Harden not your heart. Combat disaster fatigue with compassion.

As Catholic Christians, we know that we never really lose anyone we love. We might just be physically separated for a while.

“People want to have an opportunity to honor … and bury their child,” said Father Carrion, who added that the ministry helps to build community among those experiencing loss.
